    You also have to consider the size of the center hole and how deep the wheel is.

    You need to be able to clear the caliper. It's worth looking into just be sure to check before you buy.

    keep a look out on marketplace for take offs but they wont be the kind with the circles around its perimeter, probably the 5 spoke steelies. Spare tires are usually the circle type but on the 2nd gen they have an oval cut out where the valve stem goes.

    Don't forget you'll also need new lug nuts. The lug nuts for alloys use a different seating face for the lug bolt.

    You could start checking the salvage yards…. you oughta be able to find four Tacoma spares for not much money. Have your local paint guy blast’em and paint.

    Look out for FJ steelies - closest thing to a NATO style wheel youre going to find for a Taco. They're not super common but they are available. I've had pretty good luck getting all kinds of OEM wheels on eBay, just watch out for shipping costs.
